I'll chip in my tuppence worth here, haven't been posting much of late as much of my enthusiasm and passion has been knocked with events since January,I was angry,mystified and let down by the capitulation and lack of fight of overpaid players last season, but this doesn't come close to the disgust and anger i now feel on discovering yet again we have been the victims of lies and half truths. I don't pretend to understand business models and high finance, i do however understand the huge amount of hard work and endeavour along with hard earned cash,put in by thousands of honest punters trying to drag THIER club back from the brink in 2003.DEE4LIFE bought into the club owning 26% of shares and got a fans representative on the board,supposedly to prevent this situation ever occurring again,we had what appeared to be a very credible board who had turned things round after administration and were assured the club was debt free,Calum Melville, we were told, was the icing on the debt free cake and was prepared to invest in the hope of returning us to SPL status.
Everything in the garden was rosy, what could go wrong eh? Alarm bells started to ring with the constant refusal of the board to honour a promise made to fans with regards to transparency that an annual Q&A would be held with board being answerable to supporters,this has yet to materialise and many supporters have voiced their discontent on this matter and the resignation of the DEE4LIFE chairman further heightened concerns.
Most fans can put up with footballing disappointment,FFS we're used to that,but the continued mismanagement, lies and duplicity over 40 years gets wearing. I'll watch the current fiasco through my fingers but aint optimistic about a happy outcome. All we ask is a team of players who give a feck,even a fraction as much as the support,a competent and honest board and a win now and again would be nice,no too much to ask surely?
